Stopgap Open Dungeon - Pride 2026!

Just one block away from the parade- come cool off, strip down, and get a little filthy in a space that queer leather built.

We’re opening Stopgap at 4PM on Pride Sunday for our community to recharge, connect, and indulge. Whether you want to chill on a mattress in the cuddle room, dip into a casual scene in the dungeon, or just enjoy the vibe in good queer company, this is your home base for Pride.

Cruise. Nap. Play. Refill your water bottle. Or just enjoy clean bathrooms and a space that feels like ours. Escape crowds, get out of the heat, socialize with community and/or play the night away! When the lights go low, the beats go dirty and the dungeon heats up. Whether you’ve been out all day or you’re just starting the party, you’ll want to be ready.

Bring your perversion. Bring your curiosity. Bring your Pride - We’ll bring the rest.

Dress Code:

Dressing queer is strongly encouraged in order to help maintain the festival vibe. We encourage you to dress up at least a little. Make an effort to impress, but if nothing else comes to mind then dress as you would for a fancy night out.

• What makes you feel sexy, confident, ready to take on the world?
• General dungeon wear?
• Costumes?
• Leather or rubber?
• Skimpy lingerie that leaves little to the imagination?
• Rainbow extravaganza?
• Whatever it is, we want it here. Bring it. Just be mindful that you might have to wait in line outside when you arrive and that you are welcome to arrive in regular clothes and then change into your kinky outfit once you get inside.

Inclusivity & Safety:

We warmly invite and encourage individuals of all ages, races, ethnicities, gender identities, sexual orientations, and abilities to attend our event. We are committed to creating an inclusive and welcoming environment where everyone can feel safe, respected, and celebrated. Your unique identity and experiences enrich our community, and we look forward to sharing this special experience with you.

Note: This event is on Pride Sunday and centers queer people. If you’re not queer or aren’t attending with a queer partner, you are welcome to come but we ask that you honor the intention of this space. Your support means a lot, and creating inclusive gatherings that center queer experiences is part of how we build a safer and more affirming community overall.
